Our Clinics
Genetic Medicine, comprised of both clinical and laboratory
departments, is based physically and managerially in St Mary's
Hospital. The Regional Genetic Service (RGS) provides genetic
services to Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cumbria. Clinical
biochemical services (provided by The Willink Unit) also extend to
Bradford and Alder Hey, where regular weekly clinics are held. In
addition, regular clinics for the muccopolysacharide group of
disorders are offered through a national clinic network and in
Dublin.
Special interests include dysmorphology, neuropsychiatry,
neuromuscular genetics, cancer genetics, ophthalmic genetics,
cardiac genetics, endocrine disorders, the genetics of deafness,
neurofibromatoses and general genetics.
See our referral guidelines for information
on how to refer patients to any of these clinics.
